Hi Alan, I am working with a team developing an app that makes exactly what you describe. A warning system that can be configured to check for certain criteria at specific intervals with your connection strings in VFP , SqlServer or whatever database you want.
Of course the application can handle many different jobs (different sql statements) that can be scheduled to run independently at the requested time periods and to inform different users with various ways. You can be alerted with Email / SMS / netsend / our custom notifier (Argus Notifier) / Twitter / Windows Live etc. Moreover, the application can be configured to examine not only databases but any system. For example you can check a web service or a common web page or a directory even if a specific process is running in a remote machine. The best part is that you can write your own "search providers" or "notification providers" using a .NET language really easily. That's how we have implemented our own notification providers! -:) The system is in beta testing for the moment (actually we are writing documentation and preparing our site) but if you would like to have a working version let me know.
